June 30 — St. Manuel's Day. Beware of evil spirits!
Krympress reports:
The main danger of June 30, was considered by the people: on these days it is difficult to defend himself from evil forces — a person is very vulnerable now. The sun stagnates on Manuel, there are frogs-tumans, dairy rivers flow. They said that evil spirits are suitable, trying to lubricate a person, drag it out. Manlaz, a deceiver, Manich — the one who beckons, calls, is so called various unclean spirits that can manifest themselves in the appearance of a ghostly vision (including a dead man) and attract, bless, that is, froze, deceive. Logging creatures invisibly pacing around the house, knock and make noise, scatter dishes, throw things, extinguish light, moan, lament, accept unexpected and frightening images, they survive from the house and destroy people. Most often, manamies were called unclean spirits living in the house, outbuildings and correlated with brownies, kikimora, dead. They should be afraid of them today.
In addition, in the evening of June 30, our ancestors believed, it was impossible to go to the lake. It was believed that the reservoir sat Manich or a mania, which lured the beauty of the beauties closer and dragged them to the bottom. They also believed that mania and her daughter walk around the yards at night and lure people into the forests to give them to the goblin. It was customary to breed bonfires on the shores of lakes and rivers on this day to scare away evil spirits.
The Church now honors the memory of three brothers named Ismail, Manuel and Savel, who came from the family of a very noble pagan, but their mother was adherent to Christianity and raised her sons according to the law of God. In adulthood, the brothers were called to Emperor Julian in order to negotiate. However, as soon as the messengers learned that they had to take part in a pagan holiday, they refused to do this, which caused the anger of others. Julian ordered the brothers to immediately renounce Christ, but they did not agree to that. Then they were subjected to a large amount of torture, and then beheaded. Soon after their death, the veneration of the three brothers began.
Signs of the day:
- Thunderstorm June 30? To a good harvest.
- If the water lilies did not rise from the water on this day by 9 o’clock in the morning — to cooling and bad weather.
